This Carp Syndicate Has Never Been Pike Fished Before!

In this video myself and Dom went on a road trip to a carp syndicate water. We were invited by the owner Andy to come and see what pike are living in the lake. The pike stocks are completely unknown so there is a chance of a real monster living in there! We were using our heavy setups and big lures to see what we could find. See how we got on!

Seeing you use that tench lure reminded me of a time when I was fishing a quarry regularly, but still too young to really understand what was going on. One day I caught a tench that weighed 5 1/2 lb from the 'east/left' bank. It had scars on its back and belly and I thought it did well to survive to grow big after being almost eaten by a pike when it was younger. A week later on the opposite bank, opposite peg even, I caught the tench again almost at the same time in the evening. But this was when I realised, last week when I caught it, it's wounds were fresh, as now they had changed as it was beginning to heal. I don't do freshwater fishing anymore, but ever since I have ofeten wondered what size pike must have been in there to have attempted to take a 5 1/2lb tench. I know small fish can sometimes take fish too big for them to handle but this fish was wounded with half it's dorsal fin missing and a chunk taken from its belly so it had been grabbed at its widest point.. There were those typical angler tales going around about a certain huge one eyed pike in there that would have been 50 years old (said to have been alive and spotted in the 60's) and 80lb at least if the stories were believed but regardless of any tale I wonder if there was a potential record 45+ in there at the time. It was an odd venue, as I say, I fished there exclusively for tench, most people did. Occasional large roach and rare carp were caught, but the place was filled with mostly Tench, perch, and pike, from jacks that lined the Canadian pondweed around its margins in summer, to monsters that seemed to follow you while you were scrambling along it's slippy clay banks as night fell after staying too long to catch a tench from the surface during heavy rainfall. I remember before they filled most of the shallows in (which they did after two other young kids drowned after falling over the cliffs) , I had packed up one afternoon, with another kid, we walked along the bank, round a bay almost all filled with pondweed and we watched a jack pike swim through a channel close to the bank and into a hole in the weed. "that must be it's home" I said to my friend, and almost as soon as I finished saying that, the jack pike swam out again, but a lot faster than it swam in, and it was followed by something many, many times bigger, so big it created bow waves as it went for the jack pike in about 2 feet of water. We both stood silent and open mouthed for a bit before continuing home with our new found knowledge on specimen pike habitats, and being somewhat startled as we heard a loud 'crack' in the dark, which we figured was my line snapping as some of it had trailed out of my seat box and caught on a bush some way behind us. The place is home to a rare crayfish and sadly it seems the last organized dive there that I have read about saw none of them, which I wonder if it is because they have banned fishing so a lot of their food is now gone. We used to pound in bread and sweetcorn so much it must have been the crayfish's main diet just as much it was the Tench.

80lb 😂 pike will attempt to eat anything up to the same size as itself. Good read though 👍🏻

[@debroahtaylor6398]

Just seen this video. Very interesting as the pond is just up the road from where I live. It is a man made pond, not dig that long ago either. There are quite a few such ponds along that road. Obviously, the carp have been stocked, but for pike to attain a reasonable size, someone must have pit them in there.

[@bluenose7984]

Quality Pike.

[@DunkinBiscuits]

Lol those toads are looking for a female to mate with and they are not picky , usually there are lots of males all scrambling to try and get the same female. Iv had this same thing happen to me where if you stick your hand in the water while the toads are all randy lol they will literally graba hold of your fingers and try to mate with your hand xD you actually just got violated there Chris

Would you still fish for pike now are is it not the right season 🤔

[@Gazziii]

Hey, quick question. This was my first pike season and I started in winter and really enjoyed lure fishing here in the UK. Having stopped for the closed river season, I have been reading up regarding fishing when it opens up. However ive seen people saying that it is not healthy for the pike as they get exhausted in the summer. Ive watched a lot of your videos and see that you are an experienced pike angler and care alot about the fish, I wanted to ask how you felt about fishing for pike once the season opens or do you wait until winter? Thanks in advance.

[@Don_Puparo]

If you know what you doing and how to handle the fish, you can fish all year round. My best period is 16th of june to late august.

[@bc5174]

FWIW, I'll fish from the reopening of the season up until the water hits 20 degrees celcius. In my water, that gives me ±5 weeks of post-spawn pike fishing. After the water has hit 20, I switch over to perch for the rest of the summer, and pick up the pike fishing in September or October when the water cools back down again.

[@alexfox4140]

You make some really good videos ... but you should use a wire trace when lure fishing for pike

[@stiofain4693]

Why? It’s to stop fish snapping your line, he hooks them really fast an rests every fish before returning.., invalid point your making

[@kos7941]

​@@stiofain4693 he's using 100lb plus fluorocarbon. The stuff is really bite resistant , I've personally used 150lb for years and even on huge fish deep hooked it just frays, u recur and retype it. Its also a lot better for if you chin fish, because u can grab a heavy fluoro leader a lot easier than a wire. Its all personal preference. I find fluoro has more resistant so u can reel baits slower, and works better with softbaits. Heavy titanium seems to work best for jerkbaits because it's thinner so the force from the jerk is trafered better.

[@heyitsmetrousers4399]

He’s using a fluoro leader which is pretty much stronger than a trace in my opinion. I used them too and never use wire as it can really injure fish

[@alexfox4140]

@@heyitsmetrousers4399 Pike can bite through fluoro, eventually it will happen to you and you will leave a lure in the pikes mouth probably for it to die.
